COTTON AND WOOLEN GOODS.
In its review of the week, ending last Satur-
day, the New York Journal of Commerce says
of cotton goods: The business, however, has
not been up to that of a year ago, nor was it
possible, through the improved condition of
supplies with agents, but the demand has been
much more satisfactory than results, as desired
qualities having been exhausted in many in-
stances, contracts could not be accepted" with
any certainty of delivery, nor would they lie
accepted except ' at value.' In the face of large
receipts of cotton the prices for sjx>ts or futures
have not given way to the expectations of the
many. As compared with last year, when the
crop in sight was 10 to 12 per cent, smaller,
this showing to many is an enigma past solu-
tion; but if they will properly consider the
supply and demand, they sho\ild readily under-
stand' it. The fact is present, however, and
holds prices for cotton go»xls not only very
firm, but where contracts for any length of
time have been accepted, prices are to be gra-
duated according to the price of the staple. The
reported stocks at the several centers for the
week ending Saturday, October 9, 1S80, com-
pared with those for the corresponding week
the previous two years, were as follows:

The New York Journal of Commerce of
Saturday says of the woolen goods market: At
the best the question of wool is a disturbing
element. Contrasted with the price of woo] a
year ago, it is 10, ,u 13c. per pound higher, with
labor and materials much higher, yet the trade
demand that heavy goods nu.de from wool of
much higher cost than it i.s now, and spring
weights from wool of the advanced cost named
above, bat sold at last year's prices. Manufac-
turers have accepted the situation for the pres-
ent. but with any advance in the cost of wool
it is most probable that- tuiless prices for goods
share therein, many mills will be compelled to
stop. It i3 desirable that prices be kept as low
as possible, as at moderate values the consumrv
tion would be large, but if showinf*
anything of tlie extreme figures of a year ago
it would give fresh encouragement to importa-
tions, which in the end might prove as unsatis-
factory as to sell at a small loss from the start.
The course to be pursued resolves itself into one
of facts, which is—no misrepresentation of cost
of production should bema-I". but the basis of
sales fixed as low as possible, as upon reason-
able rates or cheap goods depends the rapid
distribution of the large product. With the
close of the week there has been some improve-
ment in the inquiry for spring clothing, wool
ens and worsteds, also by the manufacturing
trade, converters and exporters for various
cotton fabrics. In conscience of a more ger
eral complaint of short water in m?my instances
liberal oilers for contracts have had to be de-
clined until the completion of orders in hand
can be more definitely determined.
the hide markets.
Chicago advices reported sales of 7500 packer
Texas steers, 12c. for heavy and lie. for iigh
hides, and say: Hides remain quiet, and the
market is not materially changed from that of
a week ago. Buyers are still very slow m
taking hides at sellers' asking prices, nnd sellers
are reluctant in accepting lower oilers, conse-
quently business is in a measure restricted. Dry
hides do not show any activity whatever, al-
though holders are very tenacious in their
views of values, and they claim that the ad-
vance in dry hides was not so material as in
salted; that the slight depression in salted at
this time should have no influence on dry.
Stocks of dry hides are not large, as the late
active demand reduced them to the mini-
mum, and present stocks are only of late ar
rivals.
The New York Shoe and Leather Reporter
introduces its last number with a general re
view of the position of the trade in which it
says of hides: I>ry hides are still dear—dear
in proportion to leather, and dearer vet in view
of the enormous quantity there is of them in
first, second and third hands—in the ware-
houses of the seaboard, and the storage sheds
ef the interior—in vessels bound hither from
many ports, and in the places abroad where
they are profsselv produced. We coukl not
have used all there were, whatever value they
might have reached. Somebody must inevita-
bly carry a considerable surplus. Tho tann«J>
have been assuming their full share of this
burden all through the current year. It is
not diminishing. But when thoy wore
asked to increase it, in the double sense of add
ing to its weight in cost as well as in buik, they
respectfully, but rather firmly, for them—they
are usually exceedingly meek—declined. When
it became apparent that their resolution on this
point was not to be shaken, the pretentious
fabric of inflation collapsed, and the same par-
ties who had demanded an advance accepkxl a
decline. There is room for a further rectifica-
tion of the scale of rates. There is no reason
whatever why hides should rule an atom higher
to-day than they did last spring, or in the mid-
dle of summer. The supplies in sight are am-
ple ; the supplies near at hand and coming soon
are plentiful. The margin between raw and
finished stock is disagreeably slender, and it
would be a very equitable and satisfactory
method of putting the business on a solid ami
remunerative footing, to have a drop of from
five to ten per cent, in the former and a little
bracing up of the latter, so that the tanners
might be sure of a continuance of the mode-
rate success they are enjoying now after a long
period of shrinkage and sacrifice.
matters at manchester.
The New York Bulletin's Liverpool corre-
spondent says: The demand from India for
Manchester goods has not been up to expecta-
tions for some time post, but there is now some
indication of a change. Tlie exports hence to
India have been of enormous extent, but the
improved harvests there and the previous bare
state of the markets will account for the great
power of absorption. In the manufacturing
districts, matters are assuming their ordinary
aspects. The strike has collapsed, for some
time at all events, and the Oldham masters
have abandoned the attempt at concerted short
time. These might be taken as favorable symp-
toms for the Liverpool market, but judging
from the post day or two, something very
strong indeed will be needed to stimulate it.

News Office, Wednesday, October 20.—
The most conspicuous feature- in commercial
circles to-day was the infusion of life and ac-
tivity into the cotton market. The satete were
very large, and, akthoogh not actually quoted
tigfcer, prices were paid which factors coeld
not havt> obtamectat tho close of business last
evening. The strength proceeds, as it
has done for some days past, from the
activity and firmness at Liverpool, backed
by a steadily improving Manchester
market. The saies of spot at New
York to-day were very larger especially to ex-
porters, but futures responded reluctantly, and
the near montfasrwere oiriy a oouple-of points
higher at the dose. April, May, Juno and
July are-4*to4> points- higher.and tho-latter has
touched 12, winio-Ocfcobers are quoted at 10.85
and nviridlimg uplands 11 5-16c.
Thc-rsccipte at the ports hold up well, and
-to-day^"totaki are 10,143 bales-in excess of tho
figures for tho corresponding Wednesday of
■ last year. Tho excess thus far this week is
over 20,000 bales.
The prowsjon^narket-sfaowed a better-front
in. tho West to-day. Pork at Chicago is held at
$19 against $12 25 for the coming month. Ba-
con at St. Louis advance*! to 5>£, and 8%c
for shoulders and sides. Dry salt meats have
also stiffened up. Wheat opened easier but
recovered. The Chicago figure for No. 3 spring
at the opening was $1 01, but it rallied and
closed at $1 01%, against $1 01% yesterday.
Corn and oats were- easier at St. Louis, but the
local market is not affected. Corn is scarce
and wanted by nailers.
Tlie-advancein coffee quoted, and which was
based on an excited and advancing market at
Rio. is snstained, bat the tenor of private tele-
grams sustained by ti» news special is that
the New York market is quieter en the basis of
13^5 c for fair cargoes.
Sugars are firmer, and raw are-reported in
better request at New York. The New Orleans
Democrat says of that mar ket;
SUGAR AND MOLASSES As* NEW ORLEANS.
The market was active and strong. High
grades of open kettle met with a good demand
at outside prices, while poorly drained grades
were little in request. Claritieds in hogstoeads,
as well as barrels, were also in demand. Bar-
reled clarifieds are coming in more freeely this
season, and. it is expected, will be favorably
received, if as convenient as reported to the
jobbers and whoiesale grocers for shipment to
the West, and as eeouomieai toplanters, whom,
it is said, not only save considerable on the
cost of hogsheads by putting clarifieds in bar-
rels, but obtain better prices. Barreled sugars,
however, meet with some disfavor on the part
of handlers and brokers, the former not yet be-
ing accustomed to moving large lots of barreled
sugars from plantations or on the landing, and
the latter experiencing more labor in sampling
than hogsheads, but should
smaller _. _
the result be as beneficial to planters as ex-
pected it is believed that this opposition will
not be of long duration.
The following was the oeported range of the
prices of sales to day; Pure white —c,
choice-off white 9^<g!9^c, good off whites 9^

Scrap iron has undergone no change of im-
poztaqce, buyers' bids are yet being too low for
the consummation of extensive sales. About
20 00(rt 28 00 as to position seem the lowest fig-
ures hoidess name at the moment for No. 1
wrought, but that 1 00 less might buy is not
deemed improbable. Sales of 200 tons at 28 00
from yard and 350-tons at 25 00 to arrive were
reported.
In order that its readers may understand at
a glance how the goods market stands in rela-
tion to the-staple as compared with the corre-
sponding date in the past two years, the Jour-
nal of Commerce introduces the following

[Special Correspondence of the News.]
New York, October 15.—Governments lost
their boom in the ear!3' dealings, and nearly
1 per cant, of the ad van. v that was engineered
011 Wodnesday. It is important to state here
that the rise of 3 per cent, in the new bonds
was not tlie result of nurciiases for investment,
but merely a speculative operation. When
Maine fell the stock people offered the new
bonds down 2<t?:2>«£ per cent- to give an idea to
the world that the United States was going to
tlie devil, and stocks, in sympathy with the fall
in governments, were knocked down by the
same patriots (j) 3«il0 per cent. " But
now that Indiana is won to
the dominant party by the skin
of its tecjth. the result ot a corruption hitherto
unknown,these parties bid up the Govern-
ment credit and stocks to nearly the same ex-
tent they had previously kiio»ifed thorn down.
Tbese facts should be known, though tlie
papers here dare not print riwn—ev, it they
are cognizant of them. The per cento were
done at 110^@110^, aud 1 oe 4s at 10U v6(dj 109 . .,,
with a fair market. Oid bonds \* ere strong, as
the treasury takes care of them.
The Mobile City 6 per cents, have advanced
3 per cent, on rhe prop<>sed refunding into 3, 4
and 5 per cents.—the city of Mobile to be oixed
% per cent, to pay the interest, and the whole
thing to be submitted to the people. The bonds
are worth about 43.
It has transpired that tho cotton market was
sustained 011 Wednesday last—much to the sur-
prise of every one in tlie face of lower Liver-
pool and large receipts—by the purchase of
many tliousand tiales on account of the Wall
street heroes, who imagined there would >e
another last year's boom m cotton when the Re-
publican nominee took {xwssssiou of the White
House. The movement was rather far-fetched,
to say tlie least, and as the market has since
declined the excitable gentry have paid clear
for their venture. The situation continues an
enigma, a few professionals making the deals
and a majoritr of operators standing aloof.
The week's receipts will probably run up to 215,-
000 bales, against 181,000 last year. There are
several thousand bales of inferior cotton 011 the
market, quoted fully % of a cent above its
value, and this tends to injure the market for
other cottons, and also, in turn, to confuse the
Southern markets.
Wooi shows a better demand in some qnar
ters, as well as a better tone in the price.
Woolen goods are also pretty firm.
The City of Brussels delivered no gold.
Sterling does not hold the advance of yes-
terday, though leading drawers do not alter
their direct rates; 4.81 84 are outside fig-
ui-es, and so is 84^ for cables. Commercial are
more plenty. Docs. 4.7Vj4<<j4.S0.
There was an active movement in Marietta
shares, which some of our papers, a few weeks
since, said were about to be" wiped outby
the Baltnnore and Ohio, which is the receiver
of the road. As a rule, such articles should be
taken the exact reverse of what they read; it
was so in this case, and has been in scores of
ot-liers: the indications to-d?- are that a strong
party-is buying up the Mariettas; first pre-
ferred sold up to 1%, and second 41£.
The Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Road is now
represented as in better hope than ever before ;
there are also reports that one party bas taken

How Susan Was Deceived—A Bogus
Census Taker.
[From the San Francisoo Post.]
Probably the meanest piece of cold-blooded
deception over practiced on a woman occurred
out in Western Addition the other day. It
seems that the '.Hilie of that important suburb
of our municipality is a Miss Susan Smiffcy,
and whom a vigorous rumor, kept iu cireiila-
tion by Lcr less favored sisterhood, credited
with being a desperate little flirt—in fact, what
Billy Rice,the minstrel, used to call a "false-
hearted erokay." At all events, her affections
were of sufficiently indefinite a quality to causa
her two most favored visitors to look upon each
other with the most vindictive feelings common
to hated rivals. These gentlemen—who were
respectively a city hall clerk, with eye-glasses
and freckles, named Pliff, and a red-headed dry
goods manipulator, called Diggs—occupied the
intervals devoted to gloomily seeing each other
out three evenings a week to fruitless attempts
to discover which of the two was really the
coming man in the matrimonial race, so to
speak.
Last Thursday morning Miss Smiffey, in re-
sponse ta a business-like rin^r. admitted a mid-
dle-aged party with, a black beard and wearing
blue goggles and a long-tailed uister.
" I am taking the census, mum,"' he repiied,
opening a flat book on the piano, and getting
out some blanks; *' just look sharp, please, ana
answer the necessary questions."
Miss Smiffey trembled a little, as women al-
ways do for some reason when talking to a
gtJVernment official, anu. said she'd try.
" Lem'me see—your name's Smili'ey, I be- ^
lieve—first name V'
" Susan/7
" Middle name?"
" itaven't got auy, sir."
" Come now, young woman, no prevarica-
tion. Are you sure you haven't got a iniddie
name somewhere, and are trying to conceal
it?
"No, sir: indeed I haven't," said the young
lady, turning very pale. "I wouldn't deceive'
you."
4"You'd better not, mum. The penalty is
twenty-five years at hard labor."
•* Gracious me!"
" Fact. mum. Now, then, let's see what'9
next. Ah# yes—how often married?"
'* Not once yet."
" Ahum. Going to be, I s'pose? Been asked,
eh?"
Oh! yes, sir; several times:"
"Can it six limes." said the census man,
making an entry. '' What next i Ah 1 yes—is
your liack buir false?"
"M—m—must I answer thatf"
" Of course you must. Don't trifle with the
United States government," mum. Come,
now—"
• " Well, it's sorter; that is, kinder—" "
"That'll do; we'll call it mixed. Teeth
sound?"
"Yes, sir!" with much emphasis.
" Don't get excited. Let's see—I'll put your
age down at 25. The United States never al-
lows us to take a woman's age on oath. They
will lie: can't help it, I guess.''
" I'm just 18. I don't care whether the gov-
vernmeut likes it or not," said the citizeness,
snappishly.
"Of course, of course; they all say that.
Pay attention, please. What size corset?"
"Ehf
" Must answer, mum Renumber the pen-
alty. How many inches around tlie waist?"
" Well, if you must know, sixteen. But I
think it is just a shame "
" No remarks, if you please. Ahem! We'll

Trade with Mexico.
[From the New York Herald.]
Gen. Grant's excellent speech in Boston a
day or two since called attention to a subject
of great ami growing interest to the people of
the United States. Why should Great Britaii*
always have a monopoly of the commerce ot
Mexico and South America ? They are our
neighlx>rs. They have few wants which wo
cannot supply, and we are largo consumers of
their products. Their proximity in geograph-
ical position, and the mutual need of articles
produced by each other's Industry should create
a large trade profitable to both sides. Gen.
Grant stated, in his speech, that we con^
snme annutlly two hundred million dob
lars of tropical and semi-tropical
products, which we pay for in the
in.^in by sterling exchange, whereas, in a moro
natural state of trade, we might purchase those
products with direct exports of our manufac-
tures. We need foreign markets far our sur-
plus productions, and of all markets timse
which are nearest should be most valuable.
Gen. Grant indeed confined his reasoning to
Mexico, in which he has recently traveled, but
it applies with almost equal furce to all the coun-
tries of South America. Their trade naturally
belongs to us, and will enrich both us and them
whenever we take efficient steps to secure it.
Mexico lias a prior elaim 011 our attention be-
cause she is our nearest Southern neighbor.
Her territory borders upon ours. An adequate
system of railroads running to our frontier
would not only stimulate her internal industry
and develop her rich resources, but would give
us the greater part of her trade. With charac-
teristic sagacity Gen. Grant does not enter at
all into the question of tariffs, but lays th«
whole stress of his argument upon railroads.
There can be no doubt that Mexican railways
on lines judiciously selected would be profitable*
If the capital for constructing them were fur-
nished by our citizens they could so arrange
the routes that they would all tend
to our frontier and facilitate com-
mercial intercourse with the United States.
With easy and direct railway communication
we should inevitably command the trade of
Mexico without any change in the tariff of
either country. The habit of trading would
dispose both governments to make liberal ar-
rangements in respect to duties. Whenever
the time shall come that our products can be
sent to the principal cities of Mexico by rail
we shall have no difficulty in securing her mar-
kets. which will constantly grow in value with
the development of that "country by railroad
intercourse. Gen. Grant evinces penetration
and solid judgment in insisting that the great
thing for Mexico is railways, and that if they
are built by American capital we can deter-
mine the routes aud make them tributary to
our own trade.

The Czar's Marriage.
Apropos of the recent marriage of tho Czar
to the Princess Dolgorouki, the following from
the New York Herald will be fonnd of in-
terest:
The Emperor Alexander had been In love
with the Princess Dolgorouki for more than
twelve years. He first met her at the residence
of her sister-in-law. the Princess Doigorouki-
Vu!cano,Ja most honorable Neapolitan. Struck
with the grace of the Princess Catherine, a
blond of charming simplicity and great beauty,
the Emperor declared his love, and the affair
soon l>ecame the talk of St. Petersburg. He
established her in apartments on the English
quay, and here he has visited almost daily for
the past ten years to seek solace in her society
from the cares and worries of state affairs. Tlie
Princess Dolgorouki has given birth to several
children, all of them being authorized by im-
perial ukase to bear the titles of Count and
Countess de Gourine, the name of an extinct
branch of the Romanoffs. The Princess fol-
lowed tlie Emj»eror to the banks of the Danube
under the name of Mme. Rieljer during the
late war with Turkey. Of course the Empress
knew all about it, but her malady and the
coolness of her nature caused her
to shut her eyes to the real state
of the case. But when the Czar desired to le-
gitimatize the Princess5 children the Empress,
the Czarowitch and the Grand Dukes declined
to accede. The Czarina determined to leave
Russia and find at Cannes a refuge from the
insult offered her. The Czarowitch avoided tho
Winter Palace as much as possible. Tlie influ-
ence of the Princess Dolgorouki grew daily
stronger in the Czar's household. The Emperor
yielded so completely to its fascination that he
even showed anxiety to obtain a divorce from
the Empress and to marry the Princess. Now
that the marriage is accomplished itis almost
certainly of the kind known as 44 morganatic,"
in which the bride stipulates that she and her
children will neither assume the rank nor in-
herit the possessions of the husband. Tbe9e al-
liances are not over frequent, but the Europe
Diplomatique occasionally furnishes us with &
list of such marriages entered into by princes
of the royal houses of Europe. Besides victor
Emmanuel, Leopold I of Belgium, and Fred-
eric VII of Denmark, the latest list embraces
some fifteen princess* names, a large majority
of whom belong to the reigning houses of Ger-
many and Austria.
